Mat: Well anyway inquiring minds would like to know why they keep telling you that production units would be different when anyone with a fair knowledge of molding technique would state that the molds for these "prototypes" cost 5 digit Euro numbers. And that in the light that different materials would _not_ fix the design flaws.
Flaw no 1: material thickness "around" the canister. Wallthickness too thin to be cured with POM.
I was told the can is to be made from Alluminium and the top part will be changed from yellow plastic to black.

Flaw no 2: I sincerely doubt that the " panscraper, or mosquito swatter" display would withstand more than 3-5 dives on a RIB.
looked quite robust to me.

Flaw no3: The scrubber indeed was "prepacked". However it was all granules. A fake? No means of preloading, no spring.
Prepack = granules. It looks like it has a foam pad inside to provide loading (same way MK15.5 works) I spoke to the guy who owns both companies (CS Lunar and Posiedon) and he said that although they themselves wont be supplying user fillable scrubbers he has no doubt someone will (aftermarket)

He also told me they are launching a trimix tech version at dema this year that you can program your bail gas volumes into.
Overall I was impressed with the safety features of the unit. light and well thought out. Ill be getting the chance to dive on shortly.
WOB is 1.77 which puts it up with the best.
